For most of us, endangered animals are a far-away mystery. British photographer Tim Flach, however, has spent the last two years braving their habitats and documenting the rare animals' fragile existences. The resulting body of work, Endangered, provides us with an intimate and rare view into the beautiful lives of Earth's most threatened species and reminds us of everything we should be afraid to lose.

From species we're all familiar with (polar bear, snow leopard, cheetah) to exotic wild animals we'd only imagine in fantasy films (saiga, Philippine eagle, olm salamander), Flach presents a wide spectrum of biodiversity of endangered species, and sheds light on the unique challenges each animal faces in order to survive. Some have had their numbers cut down by habitat destruction. Others endure more gruesome ordeals, such as hunting, poaching, and being sold into the black market.

Flach has often stated that he aims to reveal in his animal pictures the relationships that connect humans to our wilder counterparts. Staring into the eyes of the animals featured in Endangered, it's heartbreaking to imagine that any one of them would ever be considered less worthy of life than one of us. Scroll down to see the most stunning pictures of animals from the series, and vote for the ones that took your breath away.

    My mother in-law hand raised a hyacinth a few years ago. Treated it and all of her exotic birds like accessories really. This thing followed her around the the house and thought she was it's mother. Like all accessories she got bored and sold all her birds. I can only imagine the pure loss and pain that hyacinth felt having it's mother basically throw it away.

    Iberian Lynx is no longer endangered but still at risk. This year alone, in my country, 34 died. Only yesterday a new lynx was found dead by furtive hunters… Without harsher punishment for these kind of cowardly acts, the effort of the conservationists is in vain. But we are governed by fools who hold wildlife in contempt.

    Vulnerable or endangered - it's semantics. Their numbers are low and they are still being hunted for their skins. These beautiful animals should be nurtured, not hunted and thanks goodness that there are people who are prepared to put effort into protecting them in the wild, where they belong, not threatened.

    I have worked in conservation in South Africa with cheetah cubs. They are beautiful but should really have as little contact with humans as possible as they can become imprinted, which is bad for their ultimate survival. They really are incredible and need all the help we can give them. No human needs a cheetah skin coat or rug!! Stop the hunting now.

    The World Health Organization indicates that the pneumonic plague outbreak is probably coming under control. Yersinia pestis is endemic in Madagascar, and they deal with outbreaks every year. This one was bad, but I don't know how it affected conservation efforts. Do you have some evidence? You are right that it may be that famadihana -- ritually exhuming the dead --facilitated the spread of the disease.

    Most large land mammals - and some large sea mammals (whales) are being pushed to the bring by - guess who? Yes, greedy careless humans again. We pollute their environment, cause global warming and then wonder why their numbers are down!! Simples!! It's humans - we're the worst guardians of the environment and we wonder why every day species are disappearing off the planet for good. In the meantime, politicians quibble about having another vote on the terms of Brexit. Give me strength!!

    As of March 19, 2018 there were only two known rhinos of this subspecies left, both of which are female; barring the existence of unknown or misclassified male northern white rhinos elsewhere in Africa, this makes the subspecies functionally extinct. The two female rhinos belong to the Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic but live in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya and are protected round-the-clock by armed guards.

    Well, well all know what's happening here - thanks to Monsanto and others and their products containing neonicotinide. In some parts of China, because all the pollinators have virtually been wiped out, pollination is done manually, with feathers!! I truly believe Monsanto et al should be made pay for all the damage their products like Roundup are doing to the environment. And I don't just mean a nominal sum either!! and Roundup, which contains glysophate should have a worldwide ban, now that it's know what glysophates do to the environment.

    Not pretty, but essential to keeping the diseases spread by carcasses under control. In South Africa people, especially poachers, poison vultures.

    As the seas become more acidic due to global warming as a result of mans activity, these will disappear, along with reefs and all the creatures that depend on them for shelter and food - thousands in fact. Plastic pollution in the seas is a huge problem, but small when compared with the rise in acidity and the warming, as colder water holds more oxygen, but this is being released at an ever increasing rate as the sea temperatures rise, as is CO2 into the environment. The more CO2 the warmer the environment gets and so it goes on.

    Blue-throats are on this list: Appendix I: Species endangered and trade is permitted only in exceptional circumstances. "The status of all macaw species in the wild are of concern. Large numbers were exported to the United States and Europe the beginning of the 20th century. The majority of macaws are now endangered in the wild; several are highly or critically endangered, others are threatened with extinction and five or more species are already extinct - mainly due to the rapid rate of deforestation, hunting, and the illegal trapping for the pet trade." My sister-in-law has one.

    Unfortunately, amphibians are rapidly disappearing due to what might be a fungus, which is probably caused by pollution of their environment. We've done it again!! We're supposed to be the most intelligent beings o the planet. REALLY!!!??

    Unfortunately, this little chap, along with many many other species of amphibians, is becoming extinct. The cause isn't known exactly, but it's thought it may be due to a fungus which has thrived in the polluted environment we humans and our so-called civilised activities have caused.

    Let's be honest - who really enjoys eating caviar??!! If we eat their eggs - guess what - they can't and don't breed!! Let's not, and give it a chance to attempt to recover its numbers!!

    I accidentally ate caviar one time on sushi at a Chinese buffet, nobody told me what it was. I asked right afterward what it was because I didn't like the taste. When I found out I got so upset and pissed off at my Mom because she talked me into trying it and she knew what it was. She's always done that s**t, ever since I was a kid..."Here try this, you'll like it...I'll tell you what it is after you try it, trust me". I never went back there again. And I don't eat anything at a restaurant now without finding out exactly what's in it or on it. When I was a kid she was always doing that, and back then it was 'You WILL eat everything on your plate or do without'. Just a few of the things she made me eat were oxtails, frog legs (she forgot to cut some ligament and they jumped out of the hot pan, my Meme picked them up, rinsed them off, cut the ligament and cooked them), dove, duck, duck eggs, cow liver (tasted like shoe leather), giblet gravy on holidays, etc. Yuck!!

    Will possibly succumb as have many species of amphibians to what is thought to be a fungus which is spreading due to pollution of their environment. Such a shame. Odd little thing though!
